REPEAL OF HOMESTEAD LAW It is quite lrkely that the homesteaa law will come up for repeal, througn some bill, in the present legislature It has before this, and yet it always met with the severest opposition. Tne wish to retain this law is likely due to traditions of its old time efficiency In Ub early days this law was help ful a protection to many men. But today conditions have changed, and most men doing business desire the utmost commercial freedom, and with this freedom, the chance to gain cre dit upon their personal standing, ana this without any possible misconstrue tlon, of their having a law behind which they may take refuge. T0 those wishing to be dishonest, the homestead law la a great retrear. It makes a comfortable refuge after exhausting all credits. To the man with little means and no credit, n works a hardship, for the burden ts upon him to first prove himself Hon est, in order t0 gain a credit, that wilr bring him reputation to get goods up to the exemption limit. Every man doing business ought ro be able to stand upon his own repu tation, and not have a state law that makes outsiders fear'ui of his hon esty. The homestead law works an Injury to the young merchant of to day LOCAL FINANCIAL STANDING TO GETHER. At n0 period in the history of this section, and particularly New Bern, has there been such urgent need for every citizen, every trade and busi ness Interest, every banker, merchant, property owner, to stand together In financial matters. This standing together has several phases. First, perhaps, is the urgent need that every one pay every dollar possible that he or she may owe. Every dollar sent along to pay debts will at this time, relieve more than, any one can conceive of. If an account is too large to pay all, pay part, the money will help the person paid, to relieve hla pressing accounts. Second, keep every dollar at home. Buy of your locai merchant Those who may have money to invest, loan it here. . Keep ev ery dollar circulating here and nota wayfrom home. If any one does not wish to Invest, put it in deposit In one of the local banks, and so while draw ing Interest the money will add to the circulating medium of this city. Third, do not crowd any one owing you. Extreme Vor bearanoe should prevail for the present This does not mean granting undue credit, but where old accounts are due, to forbear legal proceedings. There is no telling what a knocked over brick may do for oth ers In the same row. Many a man has property, but no money, and It helped, rather not too much pressed, , will work out, pay every cent tie owes anj be himself, prosperous.- Ia this situation, the backs of New Bern deserve both congratulation and commendations. The first, for thetr excellent financial showing In all the depression.' And commended 'or their anslderatlon for the business, inter ats and merchants here, many of horn would have suffered severely, ucept for accommodations granted, al so la the matter of pressing drafts, the local bank people have In many a needed case, helped the customer and those ; who were not customers by giving extra days of extension. It must not be forgotten that the bank people, uemseives, have at time been pressed, and yet they have stood a bulwark, to help and protect local Interests, ' . ' I i' Hard times may Sevelon a mutual'" reeling, u mgniy eiercisea wm oo. bring thla community on t solid busl- ( ness ground and so relieve those who may now be struggling -with every honest purpose, but who are helpless. unless there may be temporary for bearance.

Willis superln before January first, this year, haff tendenj,, lioonao mnnv from saloons, or Droflts I Our public schools are progressing from dispensaries sales are now look ing about to see where the revenue is t come from, for schoolpurposes j since that formerly received from 11 jquor selling is cut out Looking backward, it will be found that as each town and city went dry, the first interest that was affected from loss of lliuor revenue, was the educational. The wet people in every Instance before election gave warning of this, and tried to use it as an ar gument for voting for the wet ticket. And sure enough, when the liquor license or dispensary money went, tho schools came up before the town or county, for a deficit, to be made good It is a long hark back, but it was a mistake to have ever employed the revenues jaod profit from liquor sales for educational purposes. It was such an easy revenue to get, then the Immoral traffic was made to redeem itself in part, for the evil paid for the education of the youth. It was not only a moral obligation that every voter of North Carolina assumed, when local and State prohi bition went into effect, but also a fin ancial one, for the moral demanded the elimination of liquor selling, which meant the end of money returns in taxes, and yet no one voting for prohibition was released 'from the necessary tax that is called for educational purposes, although the schools drew a large revenue from the license and privileged liquor traf fic. The education of the youth is de manded of the people for the protec tion of society, and H is not just a question of how the revenue is to be raised for every kind of educational purposes, bht that it must be raised. The harm was, that the liquor traffic became such a convenient form through which to secure money for schools, that this tax was not felt. That such a revenue was wrong has been declared at the polls, and so with the moral condition voted for, must be assumed the financial obli gation to make good all needed funds for schoels and the education of North Carolina children that were lost when prohibition came. Every honest and sincere prohibitionists sees this and will live up to bis or her obligation In the matter.

Each organ has its own con trolling nerve. When these nerves fail, the depending organs must of necessity falter.

The manufacture of concrete burial vaults Is becoming quite a large In dustry In various Western States.says Cement Age. New York. At Joplln, Mo., there has been organized a com pany which operates a large plant In the manufacture of concrete burial vaults a full body of steei reinforce ment is set up within a solid mold at an exact center of the cement which strengthens the vault at every point. Steel thus protected Is everlasting It cannot rust and collapse with time, as such vaults must which are made en tirely steel. The vault Is made also iutely waterproof by the addition ot a waterproof compound, which Is initial ly mixed with the cement. The vaults remain In the holds from three to live days until, thoroughlyy set, after which they are allowed to season a bout thirty days. A trip to the ceme tery shows the vault lowered In the grave followed by the lowering of the casket and the putting on of the lid of the vault, which snugly fits upon the vault. A mixture of pure cement and waterproofing Is then poured Into the space between the vault and the ltd, making the vault and lid practi cally one solid piece. At Lawrence, Kansas, there Is another company en gaged In the same line of work. This concern has been conducting some In teresting tests of their cement vaults, In one instance the vault was tamer, sed In a tank of water to demonstrate that It could stand any amount ox pressure. The vault, which la made entirely of cement, Is constructed in l.n n.pl. Ynarao,! n At t In Mi mv. I er on the top of the vault and then sealing It the vault fits down over a cement slab. When the vault la low ered over the casket, It la, of course Slled with air, The vault Itself Is molded Or made In one air-tight piece open only at the bottom which fits down over a cement slsb. A perfectly tight space from which thelr cannot descend or escape ia formed. The wa ter, when rising to a level with the bottom of (he vault, will be checked by air, which , Isnow firmly encased by the vault on aides and top and the water on the bottom, and water can never rise In tbe vault A piece of glasa la fitted Into the lop of the cas ket, so that spectators caa look down mto tha vault and aee that everyhlng Is as dry ae It was when tt was pur- in.' -: , , . 1 Spralaed inkle.
